Plugging in at home?

In the past when we rented RV's, we would pick it up, bring it to the house, and plug in the RV in the garage to have things running while we loaded up.

After reading a ton on here, I have a feeling we weren't supposed to be plugging into a regular plug at the house, but using some sort of converter.

Is that right? Or, are we okay plugging the 30-amp in at home?

Thanks! Jules

    I don't see why not. A typical home outlet is going to be 15-20 amps, so you might be prone to tripping breakers if you run everything at once (especially AC), but otherwise it should be fine. Obviously you'll need a converter to make the plug physically fit in the outlet, but those can be found for like $6.

    Your ok plugging in at home. Some don't have a 30A receptacle at home and need a small adapter to be able to plug into a regular receptacle.
